The Pelosi office/desk guy, and the Speakers podium guy, for example.

Apparently genetic preference for clean. Before recent head shaving, women didn't mind balding heads at all. Bald heads looked clean! I'm pretty well grossed out by full, longish beards...one just has no idea what might be lurking there! Just my opinion...

that was accused of being "antifa" being thrown over a balcony after being shoved around, push on the ground, and having his life threatened. He was wearing all black so they thought he was anti-trump. The civil war has its uniforms now.
